If votes became truly public

There’s no ‘if’, they already are.

what would stop a malicious user from automating crawling the fediverse to get a list of every up and down vote a targeted user has ever made?

The same thing currently stopping them: nothing but time and effort.

Admins can currently do this, I assume given enough time and intent? Yuck.

No, anybody can currently do this.

That’s the issue with decentralisation. The info is out there. It’s that or trust a megacorp with it.

And this is why we need a NSFL tag

Oh wow! Thanks!

I’m a bit baffled by why anyone would give them money though, since even if you were guilty of a crime in China, the UK doesn’t extradite people to China

Childhood indoctrination to obey the authorities, plus awareness that if China wants you back, they probably won’t use the official extradition process. See the recent examples:

Just put the tip in.

I’m interested in the list of countries you WOULD prefer to die in

You’ve never seen superfans print out and bind a webnovel, huh 😛

Not really any different on lemmy, sadly

Why are you attacking somebody who’s backing you up? Sheesh

Kind of sad how many communities are on .ml. Would like to block the entire server but lose too much content.

If they’re posting on a .ml community, it’ll get censored

Don’t think LW has the language filter active. .ml is the one that has it active that I’m aware of
